It stings, it always stung. It shouldn't not right now, how frustrated he is with it all, after all she finally, finally turned her back on him, after all these years.

Stands to reason he would take it in the worst possible way, and it filters back into her voice regardless of so long trying to keep one face up to him. Head turned away from the worst of his anger, because she doesn't have her powers anymore and that opens up a whole new problem. ]
